Cass, how cute about Oskar wearing Joshuas old outfit! Yah, I think I just feel out of place at mother group because they are all older than me and theyre always going on about "my degree this, my thesis that, blah blah phd" and so on, so I feel like theres not much in common except that we all have babies around the same age. My husband does the same thing with getting Claire when she is happy. Sometimes she'll be in the cot, slightly awake but still drowsy and he'll go pick her up, which fully wakes her up, then she'll want to have lots of attention and I'll be going 'no! i wanted to have a shower in peace! she would have gone back to sleep!!" LOL men.
Cass Blob, happy birthday!! Blergh about your first present, but yay on the other presents! Sizzler is awesome! I dont think we have them in Sydney anymore, but we used to go all the time for birthdays and stuff. Hope Izzy is not getting sick. Claire had one of those hacky coughs too. Poor thing!
Rachel, sounds like Grace loves her solids! If only I could get Claire to eat that much! Hope you can continue breastfeeding, if thats what you want, but you did really well to get to 6 months. It seems like most of the ladies in my mums group stopped bf before 6 months. I like the sound of leaving Claire with DH while I go out. I did leave her with him when I went out with some of the bellybelly girls in sydney. It was nice, not that I dont like looking after her (i love her!!) but sometimes I just want a bit of time for me to do my own thing.
Ali, how cute about Emy going around in circles! Heheh I get told the same thing - people all say Claire is tiny (about 6.7kg) but she has heaps of fat rolls on her thighs and arms, and also a few extra chins, lol. I was also supposed to go back to work in about a month for 2 days a week, but I've decided not to. I want to get Claire more established on solids and booby is still her main food. We've moved offices a few weeks ago and apparently there arent any real facilities for expressing so I have decided not to go back just yet. Sorry not sure what sort of work you do.. do they hve a spare office you can use to express?? Hope you can work something out. I breastfeed Claire lots still. Every 3 or so hours round the clock. She is still waking two or three times overnight expecting booby. I also just feed from one side. She has also never been keen on both sides.
Jen, souns like Sam loves his food! What gravy do you give him? I thought the normal gravy, like gravox, would be too high in salt for a baby?
Claire is almost crawling! She gets onto her tummy then puts her bum in the air and pushes her arms up nd rocks back and forward. Then she sort of flops over. She is commando crawling, sort of. We ended up fully rearrangning the house so there is more room to crawl. We live in a tiny 2 br unit, so it was a huge task to rearrange, but now we have a nice space for her to crawl and roll around in.
Updated my photo website and put a bunch of photos of her sleeping. She now sleeps on her tummy with her bum in the air. Anyone elses bubs doing that?
... like you said on the upside it's a wonderful place. I was like that with Joshua... so sad but found a wonderful lady (family daycare) and he was with her until he went to school and just loved her and adored her son (he was older and he idolised him..lol). WTG Ari! I haven't tried meat yet, but he's not full on into food yet either. Sometimes he wants it and other times he's like... oh come on mum I KNOW that's not your boob!! lol.
Lack of sleep type. Oskar is amusing himself on the floor at the moment and Joshua is playing playstation! Oh... I also have a majorly sore boob...
